A new lake record!

Rouge

Two lads moved around all the swims on Rouge to keep in touch with the fish, and banked Carp into the 20's and Catfish up to 40lbs. Unfortunately, despite hooking several bigger fish, they didn't manage to get one of the really big Carp or Cats on the bank. Unusually for Rouge, the lads banked mainly Common Carp as opposed to Mirrors. They were using GLM boilies and halbut pellets supplied by Exclusive Angling holidays.


Vert

Although only lightly fished, the two gentlemen fishing Vert managed to put a few good fish on the bank despite losing a lot to the snags. I'm sure we'll see you again next year (if not sooner!) for a slice of revenge :-)

Bleu

Yes, you guessed it, the Catfish record has been smashed by a pound and a half. Alan, on his second visit of three to Bleu this year, bagged a 95lb 8oz beauty. The fish is the same specimen that was banked by another angler on his rods at 93lb earlier in the year. A cracking result, and a fine way to beat your PB!



If that wasn't enough, Alan also banked 'the big common' for the first time this year, weighing in at 29lb 8oz. What a stunning fish.



In total, the two Catfish anglers managed 27 cats, and the odd 'nuisance' Carp!



Thank you again to all guests for leaving the lakes tidy and treating our fish with such respect.
